Thoughts:
• This episode premiered on Sept 2, 2022.
• This movie was originally riffed on May 7, 1989, when the KTMA version of the show was in its final weeks.
• Oops, I had a brain fart and forgot about K03- STAR FORCE: FUGITIVE ALIEN 2, K04- GAMERA VS. BARUGON, K05- GAMERA, K06- GAMERA VS. GAOS, K07- GAMERA VS. ZIGRA, K08- GAMERA VS. GUIRON, K12- FUGITIVE ALIEN, K14- MIGHTY JACK and K17- TIME OF THE APES. Sorry.
• So, this is NOT the only movie that was riffed twice on MST3K. (RiffTrax has also re-riffed several MST3K movies.) Ardy makes a brief observation about it.
• The jocular spies get a little tiresome after a while, but there were a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. Not to mention another gem from Paul and Storm: “Supervillainesses.”
• Nice reference to Eric Von Zipper.
• GPC gets off a good one: “And I was homeschooled.”
• Fave riff: “Please let us stop! It’s been four days.”
• Honorable mentions: “You’re out of dolly track!” “Kids, the Holy Ghost doesn’t need that much room, okay?” “Beach blanket boyoyung!” “What knockers!” “Statue likey!” “Use the American Express. I want the points.”
